<p><strong>Brief History of Go-jek Operation </strong></p>

<p>In early January 2015, following their funding from private equity investor Northstar Group, Go-Jek officially launched the &#8216;Go-Jek&#8217; app for smartphone users in Android and iOS operation system. Since launching the app, the company claims that their Go-Jek App has been downloaded over 4 million times in the first six months, and had been downloaded 9 million times by the end of 2015.</p>
